Data protection compliance has evolved from a periodic checklist exercise to a continuous responsibility. With
cyber threats emerging and regulatory requirements becoming increasingly stringent, organisations can’t afford to
rely on manual compliance monitoring approaches. The advent of artificial intelligence has transformed the
challenge, offering capabilities for continuous oversight and real-time protection of sensitive data.
The evolution of compliance monitoring
Traditional compliance monitoring is characterised by annual assessments and reactive responses to incidents.
While this approach is sufficient for simpler regulatory environments, it falls short in addressing the
complexities of modern data protection. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act
2018, and emerging frameworks like the Digital Services Act demand compliance and demonstrable, ongoing
adherence
to data handling protocols.
The shift to continuous monitoring represents a change in how organisations approach compliance. Rather than
periodic snapshots of compliance status, businesses are better off with real-time visibility in their security
posture. The transformation has been driven by several factors: the increasing volume and velocity of data
processing, the sophistication of cyber threats, and the evolution of regulatory expectations towards
proactive
rather than reactive compliance.
